I wonder when Lego will realise that the hovercraft has military connections!!!!
If hovercraft were only used by the military you might have a point.Real life rescue hovercraft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-class_lifeboat
Real life rescue Osprey
That is assuming that the Osprey was withdrawn because of military connections, and not say a poorly designed gearbox caught at the last minute.

As for the Osprey - I think we all know the real reason the kit was withdrawn....

The Forth Bridge has been designed in lego. It needs a few hundred votes to be considered for lego to sell it. It will be a beast of a model if it goes ahead.
Heres a link to vote for it

Picked up the corvette as a first technic set last week. Enjoyed this much more than standard lego so took the plunge and bought the defender which arrives tomorrow. It was a toss up between this and the 911 rsr but the part count on the defender won out. Hopefully I made the right choice.

Very nice, I keep thinking about grabbing the Corvette.My Defender still hasn't shipped from IWOOT after it was on sale on 28/01. It's now showing an estimated ship date of 08/02 on my order.

The corvette is a nice kit for £30 pllus there's a good number of optional builds for it.Very nice, I keep thinking about grabbing the Corvette.

I ordered mine on the 29th. Still showing as "processing".My Defender still hasn't shipped from IWOOT after it was on sale on 28/01. It's now showing an estimated ship date of 08/02 on my order.

I don't think I'll be ordering anything else from IWOOT. I guess they are a dropshipper, and don't actually hold stock.

That makes sense. Saved £30 which is handy, but in future I probably won't bother unless it's a big saving.I don't think I'll be ordering anything else from IWOOT. I guess they are a dropshipper, and don't actually hold stock.

After a few drinks over the weekend I took the plunge and ordered myself the 42100 Liebherr R 9800 Excavator V29, when it turns up other than reading the instructions and taking my time are there any things I need to watch out for?
I didn't have any problems with the build. The only slightly fiddly part was attaching all the plastic tubes that simulate the hydraulic lines.Narcisus said:

Thanks for that I will take my time with the whole thing There's 2 sheets of stickers with most of them quite large. Take some time to get them straight as there's a corner of hell reserved just for those that put stickers onto Lego all squiffy!
It's a beast of a set and the functions work really well. Oh yeah, pins, pins and more pins. About 1,500 of the little buggers!
